When they use you as a “cover up” for cheating? Saying they're with you when they aren’t. What if you are friends with their boyfriend/girlfriend they are cheating on? Have you ever been in a similar situation?

I actually did go through this and did this as well. Some people told me I wasn’t a supportive friend for up and leaving her for doing this to me. Just wanted to see how other people handled this

i don't support things i don't believe in. its that simple.
what others believe doesn't concern me, its my own interests im looking out for in the end by disassociating myself with those types of individuals


keep people around you that you know to be true people and life will be all the better for it. life is what you make it.

You don't play along.

People have no right to make you lie for them, particularly if doing so could blow up in your face.

I have to admit it depends on the situation.

Call me a bad person, I don't care. It is not all black and white.

If I have a friend with a loving, nice bf/hubby, I wouldn't support cheating.

But if there is a mean bf/spouse, I would support her trying to get away from him. Hoping, the other guy would open her eyes and make her leave her bad relationship.

It hasn't happen to me so far, all my friends are in happy relationships.

I would tell the "friend" I wanted no part in it. I also would be very uncomfortable keeping someone as a friend who was actively cheating and saw no problem with continuing it. That isn't really a value I can connect with.

In my situation, he was a good BF. She could never hold a job so he supported her. Paid the rent, bills, groceries, you name it. She didnt want to move back with her mom so she was covering up the entire time just so he can keep supporting her. S--t finally hit the fan and he found out.(HATES me with a passion now for keeping it from him, I found out after everything happened) Bad thing is, she left him for a man who was married with kids. He left his wife and kids for her as well. Since he got kicked out of the house, both of them are stuck living at her moms house. So I guess in my situation, she was the bad one not him. I really didn’t want to be associated with her drama that’s why I cut her out of my life. I miss her friendship but once you drag me into your pointless relationship drama, Im out!

Tell the friend that if they don't tell their partner about the cheating today, you will.

Sounds like they both deserve each other...if you ask me.
